Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: It is chasing money that the taxpayer is entitled to but some individual has decided not to play ball and sign off. He is causing the taxpayer further pain. He may be satisfying the pain of one taxpayer on his table but he is causing much pain for other taxpayers, who must cough up more money to keep the system going. What is the plan, Mr. O'Brien?

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: Is it not possible that with the bigger ones, we could get a specialised group to assist in clearing the backlog, albeit with a cost to the taxpayer? I know the HSE has been trying to do this directly in the hospital. Is there not some arrangement that can be made with individual consultants on the big end of the scale? The HSE could go to the hospital, take out the files and work through...

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: Never mind who is doing it well or who is doing it badly. Could we focus just on the examples that are doing it badly, perhaps the top five? They are making a mess of this and have been there for years. A crack team could be sent in to clean out the files, sort them, sign them and get them back so money can be collected. Is that not a reasonable action?

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: Mr. O'Brien, I wish to raise something that came to the committee in correspondence. There are a number of issues. It was written to us in March 2014 but because of the committee's workload, it was not really aired. I have asked that a copy be sent to you.

That is despite the fact that the funding issue has already been addressed by virtue of the fact that the patient or client is receiving the services within the HSE area but...

You spoke about the next year, which I presume is 2016, and the upgrade and building intelligence tools in terms of the IT structures, the single financial system, the business case and so forth. Will that happen in the course of 2016?
